Jos Buttler is human after all. People make mistakes. No point in still being pissed off at Buttler for getting runout. Buttler paid for it with his wicket and justice was served. He was rightly declared out. I am sure he won't repeat his mistake and not take unfair starts now.
There is no point in bringing the Buttler incident and berating Buttler again and again everytime someone is runout by mankading. Spirit of the game was upheld that day and people should remember the incident and celebrate it. Think of all the young batsmen watching it and learning a valuable lesson not to take unfair advantage. Thank you Jos, we all learnt with you.

So as the title says, just got me ticket for the final and am keen to maybe spend it with some like minded cricket tragics for beers and bants. I'm going to be there all day for the bushfire game at 2.30 as well. I'm also going to be digging up my old Ashes fancy dress (see HERE - although with a sixers top instead of my english one) so if you don't mind hanging out with someone who looks like a twat then let me know and I'll happily tag along! :)
3 matches, average of 76.

Something about the playoffs for this guy. Even though he hasn’t been in the greatest form for the BBL this season he turned up against Hobart.
Batting first is KEY for the Thunder unless the Adelaide pitch has some real demons in it. Hales and Khawaja hold the key really. If they don’t get the Thunder off to a flyer it could be curtains.
for the Australian men's side, for roughly a month.
What's happening here? We had the India series and now need to wait until late Feb before seeing another game. Surely summer isn't over already?

The Saints allegedly helped the Archdiocese identify which clergy members ought to be named on a so-called “Pedophile List.”
The controversy surrounding the New Orleans Saints advising the Archdiocese of New Orleans in the matter of accused child predator George Brignac escalated this week when attorneys representing an alleged victim claimed the team helped the Archdiocese identify which clergy members ought to be named on a so-called “Pedophile List.” This list reportedly identifies at least 63 clergy members in the New Orleans area who are suspected (not proven) of preying on children during the 20th century.
The Archdiocese faces a high-profile negligence and fraud lawsuit in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans. The lawsuit is brought by John Doe, the pseudonym of a man who asserts that Brignac assaulted him years ago when Doe was a child. The Archdiocese employed Brignac, now 85, as a deacon and teacher for more than a decade. Brignac was moved around schools despite multiple accusations that he fondled the genitalia of young boys. Last year Brignac was charged with aggravated rape of a boy under the age of 12 during the 1970s.
The Saints aren’t a party to the lawsuit and aren’t accused of any involvement in the management of clergy. The team is nonetheless implicated in the litigation because its officials advised the Archdiocese on media fallout. Team officials could become witnesses should the case go to trial.
As detailed by The MMQB, attorneys representing Doe
insist that Saints owner Gayle Benson and senior members of her franchise informally, but repeatedly, counseled New Orleans Archbishop Gregory Aymond and other Archdiocese members. Last year the Saints received a subpoena for emails, letters, direct messages, text messages and other correspondences between ownership, management and the Archdiocese. Court filings indicate that the Saints identified 305 relevant documents, of which the team marked 276 as confidential and thus not subject to disclosure.Doe’s attorneys demand complete access to Saints-Archdiocese emails and texts on account of their relevance to Doe’s legal claims. While communications between clients, attorneys and paid consultants are often shielded from pretrial discovery (the process by which parties in a lawsuit are compelled to share evidence), courts are less likely to deem as “privileged” communications between a party and an informal third-party advisor.
On Wednesday, Doe’s attorneys—Soren Gisleson, Richard Trahant, John Denenea, Benjamin Sanders and Matthew Fransen—filed a memorandum in support of a motion by the Associated Press to be heard. The MMQB has obtained the memorandum, which argues that the Associated Press should be able to appear before the court “and present arguments as to whether there should be continued secrecy of documents that establish the collaboration between the Archdiocese and the Saints over certain aspects of the handling of clergy child sexual abuse claims.”
The Associated Press maintains that journalists and the public possess a legitimate interest in reviewing communications between the Saints and the Archdiocese. Those communications concern matters of public interest and public safety. Both the Saints and the Archdiocese oppose the motion.
In their memorandum, Doe’s attorneys assert that the Saints’ involvement in advising Archdiocese was more extensive and pervasive than initially indicated. The attorneys maintain that what began as a “public relations campaign” would later “evolve into something much more.” To that point, Doe’s attorneys contend that the Saints played a transformative role in compiling the Pedophile List. This means, the attorneys maintain, that the Saints:
• Knew of the specific allegations of sexual abuse against a priest.
• Had supporting documentation of the alleged abuse.
• Made a judgment call about whether those allegations by a particular victim against a named priest were, in its opinion, legitimate enough to warrant being mentioned on the Pedophile List.
If Doe’s attorneys are accurate, the Saints’ involvement extended far beyond furnishing public relations advice and dispensing media strategies. This new depiction portrays the Saints as intricately enmeshed in substantive choices related to the identification of clergy suspected of committing sexual abuse.
The attorneys also charge that the Saints have failed to fully comply with the subpoena because, among other things, “not a single text message was produced.” The attorneys likewise maintain that the Saints have misled the public—and perhaps the NFL—as to its role and behavior during the controversy. The Saints issued a statement last week insisting that the Archdiocese had reached out to various community leaders, including the Saints. This narration of past events claimed the Archdiocese solicited advice on how to best handle “the pending media attention that would come with the release of clergy names in November of 2018.” The Saints further stressed that the team advised the Archdiocese to be transparent and open.
According to Doe’s attorneys, the Saints’ statement contains several falsehoods. First, Doe’s attorneys maintain it was the Saints that initiated discussions with the Archdiocese, not the other way around. Second, Doe’s attorneys charge the Saints’ role went far beyond supplying advice to one that involved “actual involvement in the creation of the Pedophile List.” Third, the Saints are accused of “pressuring local news outlets to either run favorable stories about the Archbishop or feed radio programs a stream of Archdiocese favorable remarks.”
Doe’s accusations against the Saints are disturbing, but not yet proven. Attorneys for Benson and team officials will have opportunities to rebut the assertions and introduce favorable evidence. With that in mind, the NFL seems poised to take a wait-and-see approach. According to Daniel Kaplan of The Athletic, the league does not intend launch an investigation unless Saints emails (or texts) raise troubling information.
The “unless” is important, particularly in a litigation where the Saints aren’t in control of either the process or the parties. While the team’s interests generally appear aligned with those of the Archdiocese, attorneys for the Archdiocese are entrusted with defending the Archdiocese and its fiduciary interests—not preventing possible fallout for the Saints with the NFL.
With that in mind, the Saints would probably prefer that the Archdiocese reach a financial settlement with Doe (and with other purported victims) whereby Doe’s claims would be dropped and pretrial discovery would end. A settlement wouldn’t be unprecedented: the Archdiocese deployed that option with Brignac victims before. The longer the litigation goes, the greater the risk for the Saints that (1) sensitive emails and texts find their way into the hands of media and (2) Saints officials are forced to answer difficult questions while under oath about their relationship with the Archdiocese.
The NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell enjoy considerable discretion in deciding whether and when to a punish a team. Under both the personal conduct policy and Article VII of the league constitution, any conduct that undermines the league’s brand and image can trigger a range of punishments, including suspensions and fines of up to $500,000. The league can also elect to impose a punishment at a time of its choosing. In other words, just because the NFL reportedly isn’t investigating the Saints doesn’t mean that is a permanent state of affairs. A lot can change during a litigation.

I got reminded of Sanju manju's bits and pieces comment on jadeja when this is so far from the truth as he's class all around. This led me to think though about real bits and pieces players who were average in both bowling and batting(they can still be good at Fielding and intangibles such as clutchness, captaincy, dressing room presence) in all of the formats they played in.
Who would you guys rate as the best bits and pieces player in the modern era?
I can only think of two at the moment, (Darren Sammy and Carlos Brathwaite) yet I'm pretty sure there are much more, and Sammy seems to be the best I can think of since he was an immense and successful captain. Do you guys have any thoughts on anyone better?

I'm pretty sure tahir bowled a super over a couple of years ago and did really well, and in games where spinners are more economical, why don't teams choose spinners at the death?

While there’s an endless debate over who is the greatest all-rounder, my question is who do you think was the most skilful at the game.
I submit Mark Waugh, not only was he one of my favourite players growing up, but an out and out great player of the sport.
He was a great middle order test batsman.
A great ODI opening batsmen.
Had a decent medium pacer options and a more than handy off spin too.
And to top it all off one of the very best fielders be it in the ring saving singles in LOI or in the slips for test matches.

On the back of the drawn Ashes, NZ loss and dominant series win in South Africa, there seems to be reason for a bit of optimism, with the emergence of a few young players, specifically ones who are specializing in the Test arena. Looking forward, I would place guess the ECB's priorities as
Below I have listed all the players that currently would be in the picture for these goals. I started with the current test team and then worked down through players who recently have been capped or have toured. There are obviously players who will emerge in County Cricket over the next few seasons, but predicting that is an exercise on its own (with apologies to Ben Coad)
Batsmen
| Sri Lanka/English Summer Outlook | India 21/Ashes 21 outlook | |
|---|---|---|
| Dom Sibley | Has been consistent and impressive so far, but his technique looks a bit shaky and open for exposure against a really good side. Potentially needs a great Summer of 6 tests. Would like to see him improve at the rate Burns did | probably tours India but vulnerable to being dropped. Young enough to come back from that |
| Zack Crawley | Probably the odd man out the opening picture, but could bat at 3 if that position looks open after Sri Lanka. | Will definitely tour India and is young enough to be dropped and come back. With Sibley, Touring Australia with Lions which will serve as an audition for Ashes |
| Rory Burns | Think he walks back into the Test team unless he completely melts down in the early CC season ala Haseeb Hamed | likely opens through 21 Ashes |
| Joe Denly | Looks to be dropped for Sri Lanka and fairly to be frank. Big fan of his but results just are not there. Still would like to see him given the summer so long as England are winning | If he doesn't play in Summer '20, unlikely to make either based on age and those ahead of him |
| Joe Root | Captain | First Choice selection. Wonder if he will make it through these 2 series as captain |
| Jonny Bairstow | Seemingly getting picked for Sri Lanka. Bad series in Sri Lanka may be the death knell for YJB after 2019 Summer results (only 2 50s) | One more bad series/season in SL or England will probably be the end for the forseeable future. ODI and T20 options could be enticing |
| Ollie Pope | Has become first pick and won't likely be facing any pressure at/for the 6 position | key player for both |
All-Arounders
| Sri Lanka/English Summer Outlook | India 21/Ashes 21 outlook | |
|---|---|---|
| Jos Buttler | Likely to be dropped and will not get a chance to get back in during the Summer at a minimum | Realistically, unless he is willing to cut back on his schedule, will have to focus on White Ball Career, where he will become the England captain and would be the favorites for 2023 WC. |
| Moeen Ali | Personally would like nothing more for him to get a recall and shine as he once did. Think he will get this chance, just based on how selection has worked with Ed Smith. | I feel the Jos Buttler path is the best to go down, despite him being my favorite player. Cannot see him being terribly effective in India nor touring down under in 21 based on the past mental issues |
| Ben Stokes | first choice until he breaks down | may have to cut back on schedule otherwise young and no reason to think he won't be an all-timer |
| Sam Curran | interesting player who always seems to be in the mix, despite lack of pace and no FC 100's. | Probably only stays in the picture with Smith as selector and Root as captain. Regardless, think he will continue to play about 60% of the tests, as older players phase out and/if England keep winning when he plays. Needs to improve batting no matter what |
| Ben Foakes | One would think if he gets back for Sri Lanka, he stays in the team for all of 2020, no matter what | May go back and forth with Bairstow on gloves. Main danger to future would be a possible Sam Billings uprising. |
Bowlers
| Sri Lanka/English Summer Outlook | India 21/Ashes 21 outlook | |
|---|---|---|
| Jimmy Anderson | Believe he still has plenty to offer in England, but I feel his best play would be to go out ala Cook on a Summer Series high note | Might want that last opportunity to prove a point in both places, but England might need to take a hard line if injuries don't |
| Stuart Broad | Since being dropped, I believe he has been one of England's most consistent and best bowlers. Also has been relatively injury free. Should skip SL and then a few tests this Summer | Has a lot of mileage on the wheels so should be cared for but taken to Australia in '21. I think he still has the fire, skill and pace to play Test cricket, albeit not 100% of tests between now and 21/22 Ashes |
| Chris Woakes | Believe he will be the odd man out at home, especially under Anderson and Broad (and Curran (!)). Did impress in 1 SA test. I feel should play in some home tests and has been unlucky quite often on selection | Not sure he has much to offer in either of these series, based on last 2 times he toured these countries. |
| Jofra Archer | First Choice until further notice | Big chances to become a global superstar in both of these Series |
| Mark Wood | Should sit out SL and then if healthy, should play only Pakistan or WI series. Overwork + white ball games will break him down. Durham have 6 games before the first Summer test. Would think he needs to play in at least 2 of them. | Only play in India if absolutely required. Essential to any chance in Ashes. Alternatively, may risk too much overall to try to stay in the test picture. Might be better suited taking the T20/White Ball option. |
| Jack Leach | Should be picked for Sri Lanka but has had a lot of bad luck with injuries and illness. I feel a risky pick with these factors and probably hasn't banged down the door to permanently usurp Moeen | Will de facto tour India but needs to be effective to continue test career (possibly unfair but reality). |
| Dom Bess | Could take #1 spinner role if he performs in SL | Probably tours India off the strength of only SA. Hard to see him being more effective than past similar bowlers. Could really push case with good Lions tour |
On the Fringes
| Sri Lanka/English Summer Outlook | India 21/Ashes 21 outlook | |
|---|---|---|
| Matt Parkinson | the Test window has in all likelihood temporarily closed | A good Championship season would probably get him on the plane to India. A good performance there would probably get him to Australia |
| Saqib Mahmood | seems odd man out at this stage but still young | I would imagine he plays in the first Ashes test if not before then |
| Keaton Jennings/James Vince/Dawid Malan | I group these 3 together because I believe they are all in a bat-off this CC season for effectively the same position; any top 6 batting hole that may arise this Summer. | If Jennings goes to SL, then he may tour India as well. Otherwise unlikely that we see any of these 3 again in a Test shirt. Big fan of all 3 though |
| Jason Roy | no realistic chance of getting back in Test side. Should focus on white ball dominance | probably seen his last test cap after his performance and the performances of others in the same position. Only shot would be multiple blazing white ball series + Ollie Pope moving to 3 + no one better being available at 6 |
| Ben Duckett | N/A | average of 27 with only one 100 and two 50s in 2019 wont get him back in the picture. Seems to have a stain of the Perth incident as well. Age on his side |
| Tom Banton | N/A | Very young and career could progress in a lot of different directions. Would wager that he tours Australia if Ed Smith is still the selector, even if uncapped |
| Mason Crane | N/A | probably a victim of an eccentric Ed Smith selection. Might have ruined his test career but young enough to return. Not even on the Lions FC tour, which is a bad sign |
| Tom Curran | N/A | has emerged primarily as a standout white ball bowler and may try to replace some of the 2019 WC winning bowlers to force his way into the consistent ODI picture. Do not see a test future with his pace and skills |
| Toby Roland-Jones | I believe he deserves another chance in the test team, if he can stay healthy | Probably limited to English tests and behind Chris Woakes at that |
| Craig Overton | only going to play with injuries | Young and showed some resolve in last Ashes but pace isn't there and only seems to get mentioned as a replacement or fill-in |
| Jamie Porter | might be in the Summer squad but unlikely to play unless Anderson and Broad both are absent | Probably should have a test cap already but young and probably in the mix with TRJ and Woakes |
| Olly Stone | could spell Wood this summer with his pace if healthy. | Odds-on the Mark Wood/Australia replacement. If he does get a few opportunities and shines; with Archer and Wood as a trio, could be devastating down under |
| Lewis Gregory | the player off all these that I know the least about, but throw him in the medium-fast seamers bucket | youth would be biggest benefit to tour Australia. |
and last but not least, some names to throw out there, half-jokingly: Gary Ballance, Steven Finn, Adil Rashid, Simon Harmer, Liam Dawson
This is by no means authoritative, but I hope to spark some longer term discussion and predictions. My guiding principal for predictions, based on the last 12 months, is that England to be successful in Tests, need to pick Test players. The Bayliss era had ups and downs, but the Silverwood era looks to be off to a good start, not just from results, but the way they are now winning matches. It will be interesting as well to see if the chasm grows further between white and red ball with the Hundred starting in 2020 AND the 2020 T20 World Cup.
Thoughts & prayers to all those impacted.
As you know, the IPL will have an all-stars match with the best players taking on each other. One team will consist of players from Delhi, Punjab, Kolkata, and Rajasthan, whereas the other team will consist of players from Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. Now, it might seem tilted towards the second team, but because the quality will be so high on both sides, either team can win. What do you guys think the 11s of both teams will be? I think it will be something like this.
Team 1 (Delhi, Punjab, Kolkata, and Rajasthan):
Team 2 (Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad):
Holy shit, now that I look at it, Team 2 seems stronger on paper. A top four of Warner, Rohit, Virat, and AB is probably the best in the world; and a bowling attack with Rashid (the best T20 spinner) and Bumrah (the best t20 pacer) isn't too bad either. But as I said earlier, both teams are so good that on their day, anybody can win.
What do you guys think?

Hi team,
Adelaide is unfortunately forecast for 10-25 mm rain on Saturday the day of their Eliminator final. Devastating.
With the new finals format what happens if the min 10 overs (5 per side) can not be bowled?
I've seen an article from 2016 that the highest rank goes through but that was under the old format. Also seems a harsh way to go out!
